Summary
The City of St. Louis seeks to use its Federal Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG) funds to address the urgent needs of residents who are experiencing homelessness or are at imminent risk of homelessness.

ESG funded organizations shall work closely with other community programs that, together, provide an array of housing opportunities, services and solutions intended to prevent and end homelessness for households in need.
